Passion & Drive

The hilarious and sad thing about taking the last thought captive was I had taken it captive in my Alabastron journal. But I had not actually made an effort to change the thought process. I have always had a budget, but I have not tweaked it and actually ensured that I stuck by it. I am blushing out of pure embarrassment. I love Jesus because he gently but firmly shows us where we are going wrong.

Clearly calling ourselves work in progress is pretty spot-on. Wow! It’s been a pretty eventful week. I visited the Nairobi West minimum prison. It’s a men’s prison. It’s fascinating that it was a community, not a prison. I never at one point felt afraid.

I met an extraordinary young woman, Vickie (right) who has been teaching basic primary education to our brothers currently under rehabilitation. (After visiting the prison I detest the use of the word inmates- it’s so limiting and condescending). She’s even taught them basic music lessons and instruments like playing the guitar.

Under her Nafisika Trust she is working on customising the prison education system and give our brothers a new lease of life and the respect that most lose once they are incarcerated. I am amazed at Vickie’s work. She found out what it was she was passionate about and she’s gone full throttle! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! It’s pretty clear that your passion is where your calling is. So quit hearing God, listen to Him!
